By far my favorite coffee shop in the Bothell, Lynnwood, Everett area. Since moving to the area I became a regular at this shop all the girls who work there are super friendly and make fantastic drinks. They make you feel welcome and valued as a customer. Even if I move I will make sure to come back to this shop at least once a week!!!

I’ve been coming to this espresso stand for the last 5 yrs, and they are the absolutely the best. It is 30 mins away from my house, but close enough to my business that I get to stop in once or twice a wk. The quality of the coffee is unmatched, and the baristas are the absolute best. Brandi and Lauren make the best coffee drinks I have ever had. Best of all they read their line and their customer better than most. As an owner of retail businesses myself, this is something I really appreciate. They are kind and quick when need be, and I have the best (but still fast) conversations when time allows (on their side and mine). No matter if you’re driving through the area once, or live close enough to make this your regular coffee stop… once you come here you won’t want to go anywhere else! My frenchies also appreciate that they don’t mind handing over several dog treats! Y’all are the best. Thank you.
